FEMA Issues Guidance on Export of Prioritized Scarce Health and Medical Supplies (4.7.20)
On April 7, 2020, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) issued a temporary final rule in the Federal Register that establishes new temporary export restrictions on five types of personal protective equipment (PPE) and authorizes Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to temporarily detain exports of those products. The rule is effective immediately. This temporary rule will stay in effect until 120 days from its final publication, currently scheduled for April 10, 2020, or August 8, 2020. (Source. DHS)
